Join physicist Darryl Pleace with Brittany Trubody and Andrew Boyd assisting, for a “bottoms-up” approach to learning all about your telescope. Learn what the different pieces mean and why they do what they do. Enjoy some one-to-one with the team for questions and advice about purchasing your first telescope.
Bringing your own telescope is not necessary, but helpful if attending the Star Party afterwards.
This session will also cover some good apps that can help with observing.
FREE for all ages.
